Luke 6:1-11
HELP PEOPLE…SHOW COMPASSION…SHOW MERCY…DO GOOD.
Psalm 37:30-33
“The religious mind is a curious thing. It’s not necessarily interested in common morality, still less in relieving human misery and affliction. It is interested in keeping rules, particularly the rules which spring from its own cherished interpretations of Scripture and tradition and to these interpretations it will attribute the inflexible authority of God.”
- We don’t embrace acts of kindness to earn God’s favor and salvation.
- We embrace acts of kindness because, in the cross of Christ, we have been given God’s favor and salvation.
REJOICE…REFOCUS…GIVE GRATITUDE.
The Greek, anoios, can also be translated as “rage.” Its root, noios, means “to know.”
JESUS SPEAKS THE TRUTH INTO EVERY SITUATION.
Carles Spurgeon: “Though the devil says you will never be saved, don’t believe it; and above all, turn your eyes full of tehars to Christ on the cross, and trust him. There is salvation in no other, but there is salvation
in the crucified Redeemer.”
